[belen8280]

I got mine like two days ago and they hurt so bad I tried to get something at school and I almost cryed it hurt so bad ;(

[ricc2154]

It sucks when you eat with them, I accidentally swallowed mines when I ate cereal this morning and I now feel sore from not having them. 

[RoseeLynnx3]

So i just got my separators in yesterday , they didnt really hurt till the next day . i eat advil like crazy !! i cant even close my mouth all the way, i cant eat or drink cold things either . i can wait to get these fuckers out

[flower1667]

I'm sooo scared what if you swollow it? Why do braces have to have parts that you can easily choke on??? Plus I hate pain I get sores sometime and I can't stad it!

[karlandfriends7]

they hurt like HELL. more than the jaw expander. i swallowed one of mine 2 days ago, and then pooped it out. dont worri guise. if ya swallow it, its just gonna come out one way or another

[zZDandezyFoshezyZz]

[keylock78]

[foreverbriannaslove5]

I got mine yesterday, and they don't seem to bother me much. I mean I can feel them in there but I'm not in any pain or anything...

[Caitzilla12]

I got my spacers 2 weeks ago and I get them taken out tomorrow....CANT WAIT!!!!

[96KAYYBAYY]

i have my spacers in now this is day 2 and it doesnt hurt yet. but i want to know what happens if the spacer comes out and the spacers breaks?

[CuddlesTaffy]

Spacers hut SO bad but i only had mine in for 1 day :D then you have to get the expanders and IT HURTS SO BAD WHEN YOU EAT!!!!!!!

[Daniellestars100]

I had to get these today and my mouth hurts but i can handle it lol!

[facebookadict19]

I gotta get the metal things thursday cuz i got the blue things in now -_-

[jaynehaynes]

Hoho I did not need spacers. : P

[BadChickLover101]

Spacers hurt like a bitch!! I have my top braces on but gotta get my bottem braces on!! Ughhh

[CartoonDrawings101]

THANKS SO MUCH MINE FELL OUT AND MY PLACE IS FAR AWAY SO I USED THE TECHNIQUE AND I PUT IT BACK IN <3 :)

[mumblezzz1the1ninja]

Got em 2 hours ago O_O absolutely no pain just minor discomfort

[ProMaplerCS]

i got em today...they hurt like hell...one fell out...and now i gotta get a new one

[VintageGoddess7]

OH MY GOD! This is my second time having them, the first time they hurt like crazy but i didn't take any painkillers. but then i thought that the next time wouldn't be a big deal.. I WAS SO WRONG! They make me want to quit ortho. treatment. In a few days I have to get top and bottom expanders (!!UGH!!) if you didn't have to get these-your so lucky

[EmilyStannard]

I have them in now. I had them a week ago to measure my molars, so there back in again for tomorrow (Braces!). On the first day I felt pressure, and the 2nd I felt nothing. It depends what your teeth are like, though.

[prettygirlluvzu]

I got spacers yesterday. They hurt like crap yesyerday but now theyre just annoyong me! I have 4. She said not ro worry about them falling out b/c my teeth are so close together they are in there really tight. And im getting braces Dec. 1st. D:

[SmileyTard65]

Got mine earlier, 2 of them and feel fine just don't want to knock them out but hope they won't hurt tomorrow :P

[Helinaxxxx]

i woke up at night b/cmy teeth were hurting me then my sepertator fell out when i was laying down and i have my braces and it hurt soooo badly :(

[Fueluraz]

wth i always think it's the worst to getting braces...

[EmilyStannard]

They suck so much .I got them today. Atelast since I flossed when I was younger, I had some space. So I only needed 6. (:

[onemin1986]

can you remove the spacers to floss, after flossing can you put it back??

i like to floss everyday --every area/teeth

[TheKolarisClan]

Mine fell out while I was in the shower :l

[sliverfreak9]

they make it look so easy >:(

[notintofairytale]

I got mine yest. I wonder what are the bands for? I have 8 now and plus with braces so its killing me! >.<

[sliverfreak9]

I got mine in today and one fell out and i put it in too deep but that's the only way it'll stay. I get them out in 2 weeks and then hello 2 years of pain

[TheFalkon11]

Lol mine didn't hurt at all. Fucked up putting one in though and had to dig it out from under a band with a toothpick and THAT HURT LIKE HELL

[TheAndrewBlue1]

[MegaOfficialVEVO]

I put the seperators/braces today, my teeth are getting sensitve. But, luckily im removing them tomorrow. Last period of school :Dx

[desdes2fly]

[MelissaSaysWatchIt]

[visiblehades2]

they hurt so badly i have had them in once all ready so they could fit the bands so yah this is my second time second day on the first day they dont really hurt that badly but then the second and 3rd day you can not chew it hurts so badly

[MarinahFish]

I got my spacers put in a couple of hours ago. They hurt SO MUCH. and the fact that i have to wear retainers on top of them doesnt help

[spie4eva94]

ive had spacers for 2 weeks tommrow now got my top done first week the last week they gave me bottom ones and they hurt >.< getting my braces tommrow yay XD

[skyscraper310]

When I got the spacers it hurt like hell I couldn't sleep I kept waking up an crying to sleep

[visiblehades2]

@skyscraper310 that sucks but yah same i toke me a long time to get to sleep when i had spacers

[56prettygal]

Do they hurt?

[MrsFrogs15]

@56prettygal I think they do, because you have to separate 2 teeth... So maybe. :)

[MemorexThe]

well im 12 and just got separators yesterday (monday) ... my next appoitment is NEXT monday and want to know if the bands I will get hurt at all and for what period of time?

[MrClonetrooperdude]

@MemorexThe no, no

[8xbrontex8]

I got mine in on friday, getting them out on thursday. They only really hurt on Friday night, now they're just itchy and irratating

[jackiechan333hes]

can you have lays chip with seprator

[horrormakeupgirl]

Ok I had 2 get 8 spacers,and here is what I experienced, day one when you get them on it hurts day 2 is way way way worse day 3 it got better day 4 no pain exept for back teeth able to chew with only front teeth day 5 able to chew with back teeth with no pain and there is no pain what so ever

[spie4eva94]

I just got mine today -.- so sore

[bluesocks4]

Jst got my spacers yesterday nd my mouth is hella sore cnt wait to get them off!!!!

[veedeeproductions]

I HAVE SEPARATORS RIGHT NOW. I WANT TOKILL SOMEONE.

[halleen14]

the first day you can feel them in there, then you basically only feel pain when you are chewing which is AWFUL because...i mean, you have to chew to eat...right? anyways, i only have mine in for a week (3 more days) and then i get those bands. can't wait until they come out!

[EmilyStannard]

Far out, I have to get spacers... I'm scared D:

[kentabear64]

These Things Hurt Like A Moee Foee! D: I hated Them. .____.

[jhojhanan]

I posted earlier that they didnt hurt at all, i was WRONG i woke up this mornig with the worst toothache ever!!

[jhojhanan]

I have them right now and they dont hurt at all! And i just got them today. The only problem with them is that they are hard to eat with and i'm scared they fall out when am sleeping.

[lilmissyblondiegurl]

i have seperators right now :(

[coolioh101XOXO]

why is everyone saying the seperators are horrible?? i mean they only go on your molars and in like 3 days most of them stop hurting anyway. plus atleast you have your COMPLETE front teeth to chew with.

what hurts like HELL it the first week with braces. you cant chew with any of your teeth and have to squish anything you eat with your tounge and just force a gulp.

to ppl getting seperators, DONT BE SCARED

[itslindaful]

@coolioh101XOXO i have to have mine in for two weeks. i just got them this morning. oww !

[coolioh101XOXO]

@itslindaful get ready for braces ;P

[itslindaful]

@coolioh101XOXO one of them just came out... i can't put it back in..

[coolioh101XOXO]

@itslindaful you should get an appointment ASAP

[SarcasmIsNOTNeeded]

@coolioh101XOXO Chewing with front teeth is highly uncomfortable.

[coolioh101XOXO]

@SarcasmIsNOTNeeded yah but its better than chewing with no teeth at all. (because when ya get ur braces any least bit of preasure anywhere will hurt like hell, plus you wont be used to getting EVERYTHING stuck in your teeth)

[OptimusPrime11162]

When I Got These [yesterday], A Lady That Didnt Know How Put Them On ! D:

It Freaking Hurt Like Hell ! D:

[Krissy07Missy]

My cousin got these, and the rubber band thing slipped UNDER her tooth!

[TheSexybitch10x]

Does everyone have to get spacers ? Xx

[bbbeautify]

i dont get how braces and spacers hurt i had spacers last week and thy didnt hurt at all now i have braces and they only hurt a little when i ite down it doesnt hurt at all

[u78n]

just got mine in an hour ago... ouch!

[DrPurpleLOBSTER]

I don't get why people hate them so much. They don't really hurt all that much. Its just irritating. But I hate how paranoid I am whenever I'm eating. I keep thinking it came it. haha.

[mastachief2]

i got em today and i already lost it-.-

[MayonakaOkami]

Just got my spacers in today at four. I'm such a cool kid. I have eight of them right now. Doesn't really hurt at all, they're just bothersome when eating. And I have to brush carefully. o.e Mine are also an awesome violet colour, lol.

[SkatePride101]

the spacers didn't hurt at all when i had them in, this is my first day having braces and its kind of uncomfortable.. but after these videos i know in 72 hours there will be back to normal!

[MrPOETAYTOES]

I HATE THESE CURSED THINGS!!! I CAN'T EAT OR SLEEP WITHOUT HAVING TO ENDURE WHAT FEELS LIKE ETERNAL SUFFERING!!!

[itsCourtneyBitchh]

Mine hurt sooo bad, I can't eat anything more than soup. It's terrible.

[shawngetwomen]

I got mine Thursday and they hurt like heck!!

[ToontownRoxGuy]

they hurt like hell wayy more than braces. im so glad i only have it on 1 tooth

[kissez202]

I get spacers tomorrow...not looking forward.

[Juicyberry10]

I hate spacers so much!!!!!!!!!!:: I just got them at 3 today and it was so painful bc my molars are so tight together so it took half an hour having a grown man struggling to get the spacer in. I'm in so much pain and went to brush two! Came out! Imma try to put them on later but they are so annoying. I can't even eat.! I have 12 spacers and 4 metal spacers because the couldn't get the rubber spacers in.:/ can't wait to get them off an It hasn't even been near to 24 hours

[b1a3kra1n]

@Juicyberry10 Dang that must hurt....

[sidekickin721]

[DaPartyAnimal1]

I just got mine in, it wasn't bad at first now my teach hurt so much and I can't stand them being between my teeth!!!! aahh I want to take them out!!

[supererika777]

[lnterventionPro]

[TheFloopBloop]

[lovelollipopper]

[lemonbuster288]

[TheLittlemissSTAR]

i got my spacers three days ago the first they were sore anyesterday they were still sore but not as much as the first day i thoight that spacers were going to hurt like braces but they really dont hurt i cant wait till they come ou!! =D

[TessEntertainment]

[krystal48471]

[SuperBellyButtons]

@OmgGirls04 i had mine in for 2 weeks

[LucyBellTvcomingsoon]

[xavierp0nce]

[mesotru8]

@xavierp0nce they dont hurt lol i got them on today

[xavierp0nce]

@mesotru8 I got them on yesterday. Everyone said they hurt like a bitch, I barely feel anything ;~;

[mesotru8]

@xavierp0nce yea meh tew and i kno right

[AFV1995]

seperators suck

[apdiamond16]

i had my separators put on today it makes my whole face numb :(

[Quibscape]

I looked this video up because my spacers were hurting me and i was bored on youtube :l

[BadChickLover101]

I only have 5 days to get my spacers off n this is the second day

[TheDestinyCharm]

Getting actually food stuff in your tooth hurts more then this in my opinion

[MsAlleycaT101]

Idk why everyone is saying they hurt. Cuz they don't D: AND TY SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO ! My spacer came out and I used your method to put it back in, TY!!!

[SarcasmIsNOTNeeded]

@MsAlleycaT101 It depends for everybody.

[OMGtalkk]

Im getting spacers and than braces. STRAIGHT TEETH HERE I COME(: imma eat candy while i got them braces on cause im so badass. JK. my mommy would KILL mee. like a #BOSS

[Theblueberryrain10]

@OMGtalkk i was thiinking that too but then my then they told me how i can get tooth decay if i eat candy and when i looked at pictures of it i got scared

[wolfdruidkiba]

JUST came back from the orthdontist (buck weaver) and got my spacers they are already starting to hurt a little :(

[GrapeDewDrop]

SEPARATORS HURT LIKE HELL. The braces actually hurt less than them... But oh well. AT least at the end of braces, there'll be STRAIGHT TEETH. :D

[BrainGig]

People who dont feel the spacers have lotsa gaps in their teeth, yet they seem to sound so proud of it :-O

[jomailaliamoj]

@BrainGig ive got lots of gaps, i hope it wont hurt on me. gaps r not that bad, thats y u have braces to fix them, unlike some people who have straight teeth yet still want to have braces just for cosmetic effect.

[LizPeacock1]

@BrainGig not true i have crouding on top and bottem and i have 5 spacers and i barly feel them!

and im not some "nothing hurts me" chick ;-)

[harmany281]

Today is the 3rd day i've had my separators/spacers on. And it still hurts as hell. It wasn't that bad the first few hours. But around 4 hours later, the pain starts.

[rockpeace27]

in like four or three days im getting spacers nd braces should i be worried

[gymnastcrazy520]

i just got them today they hurt so bad and when i found out i was like what the and my ortho messed up on one and she had to redo two

[pariamaghsoudireal]

Thank god I'm not getting these. My dentist has this sort of bracket at the end of the braces that don't require rings, so there is no need to use spacers. It looks almost like any other bracket....Anybody experiencing the same?

[PeaceLoveHate101]

I've had my spacers for almost two months now and it's a pain at first!! But I'm happy I'm getting them taken off in two weeks and getting molar brackets !

[lolwut348]

i have them right now. I CANT SLEEP FROM THE PAIN

[Sallyanwirl]

hahah why do they hurt? they don't seem so bad! And what are those bands for? to put on the rubber bands?

[LoveleeLilJ]

OMG spacers hurt so bad i had to eat pudding and apple sauce the full 8 days i had them. Way worse then actual braces

[McKManiac]

My orthodontist when he put in my spacers took his freaking thumb and moved my molar with his THUMB before putting in the spacer! >:P

[xrockxmusicx]

@MsCarowinds

SHUT UP... You're so freaking annoying!!! Nobody cares about your spelling bees & your great ability to spell things! Lol

[moveshakedrop1192]

Spacers hurt way more then braces. you can barely eat

[meghan1872]

Ok, All you people without braces, SPACERS HURT WAY WORSE THAN BRACES

[prefixeful]

spacers hurt so bad getting braces on 7/12/11

[Gocraze110]

Ive Had My Spacers For Almost A Week Now. On The First Two Days They Hurt ALOT , I Took Some Medicin Which Made Most Of The Pain Go Away. But After The First Two Days No More Pain. By The Way I Reccomend Iboprufen. [ im not quite sure if I spelled it right. ]

[chococaty24]

@Gocraze110 agreed. i have 12 spacers in atm and ibuprofen is amazing. 

[cupcakesryummyful]

[Rachelwolfe1]

@bakuboy501 well they dont hurt everybody but they hurt me

[miss1prettyperfect]

@Rachelwolfe1 it does hurts i have gotten yesterday and it hurts it evens hurts to eat

[Rachelwolfe1]

@miss1prettyperfect the braces kinda feel like the separators but in about 3 to 4 days the hurting stops with braces and the separators stop about 4 to 5 days

[miss1prettyperfect]

@miss1prettyperfect ohh ok but i got used to it so yeah

[mollielr99]

I just got spacers and I can't stand them! Like it hurts to eat so I just eat with my front teeth but when you first get spacers, they don't hurt very much until after a while...

[xxxnarutoxxx102]

getting seperators and braces the first time is a pain

[hollisterbabey1018]

omg i just got spacers 3 hours ago and they hurt like CRAP

[karlaluvsdavid]

yea what if i swalloed mine i cant put it back in my next visit is in july 11!

[tlclovee213]

everybody arguing down there is stupid, everybody has a different level of pain tolerance....

[mindzstyle]

i'm shocked

[qwrasw]

i have them :/

[TheAbieGal]

spacerrs hurt...

[ilovetevon23]

ihave braces and separators they both hurt like hell ):

[BreOfficialChannel]

Oh gee , these hurt soo bad ! 

[Surfingforjesus]

i am getting braces and all my friends say you get spacers before braces. well my back teeth have gaps so do you think i still need spacers? my friends say they feel like a chunk of meat stuck in your teeth! :( owch!

[xBUNBUNNii]

@Surfingforjesus AH. well when i got my spacers...THEY HURT LIKE SHIT MY GAWD. cant really eat cos it feels weird..but after a while its like it not there. my orthadonist told me not to eat gum but i still do nothign happened, ate a cough drop cuase i was very very sick and ka-boom 1 came out :T so i need that bull shit back in AND most likely yes they will still put it there.

[ironmenpr12]

i just have separator do not hurt at all just bather you a bit.

[MissOlaa101]

Theyy hurt soo muchh.. Its not even funnyy.. i got them yesterdaay.. D:

[Deathprincss]

Separators didn't hurt at all

[MinecraftGirl]

The elastics are ok, but the BRACKETS HURT AS FUCK! i had them once, and one of them went all up in the flesh so they had to cut my mouth open to get it out ):

[xBUNBUNNii]

@MinecraftGirl do u have to get brackets after spacers :c..?

[MinecraftGirl]

@xBUNBUNNii i ment molars :3

[MsCarowinds]

All you people saying spacers hurt are NUTS! I got my rubber bands when I was 8 and I got my metal spacer on the bottom when I was 8 1/2. I'm 10 1/2 now and still have it... You people are crazy! I'll have it 'till I get braces which is sometime in about 2-3-4 weeks. Stop being babies!

[xBUNBUNNii]

@MsCarowinds Shut up kid.All people are different, PLUS different orthodontics as well u don't know how hard they would've done it. Grow up and know what YOUR talking about c:

[MsCarowinds]

@xBUNBUNNii Why don't you? You don't go around telling kids to shut up. Apparently people are very different. And BTW, don't go taking everything someone says and replying like it's directly to you. Not everything's going to work that way, k? I'm setting my opinion and I believe you should mind YOUR OWN BUSINESS. Get a life.

[xBUNBUNNii]

@MsCarowinds Ah thanks for the offer but I've already got one. :D AND BTW Your replying so...? LOL After this there should be no reply after. How much free time can u get to reply kid. Here is some money for abrain and friend. oh sadly it cant buy that :c good luck.

[MsCarowinds]

@xBUNBUNNii Should you be talking right now, because you're the one that's spening their free-time talking to a kid on youtube. I've got a brain, you need gramar help, by the way, and a brain. So, you don't have any room to talk about me getting a life.

[xBUNBUNNii]

@MsCarowinds Spending*, Grammar* Needed to do that :3. what's wrong with talking to kids are..you that unsatisfied with ur(your) life....that your TECHNICALLY insulting ur(your)self u puerile twit. look that up :o. I just had to type this. i don't even stay on the computer long unless i'm drawing.I'm not the one who's so so mad that they can't even spell right, low self-esteem xD!

[MsCarowinds]

@xBUNBUNNii They're called typos, you so-called "twit". And also *you're

[MsCarowinds]

@xBUNBUNNii Sorry I've won 3 spelling bees. It's spelt "you're" by the way. Sorry that you don't have anything better to do, I know how to spell. What an annoying so-called "twit".

[FrannRants64539]

@MsCarowinds both of you should shut the fuck up..jeez.

[MsCarowinds]

@xBUNBUNNii And they're called typos you "puerile twit".

[xBUNBUNNii]

@MsCarowinds Glad you caught on after 7 days. U look like an idiot.

Everyone knows what it is, are u that desperate to have something to type. Hypocrite.

[MsCarowinds]

@xBUNBUNNii Sure "I" look stupid. Sure,

[PIXIEZDUSTY]

But they are a pretty blue :D haha

[PIXIEZDUSTY]

Ugh!!! I got top braces in October 2010 and I'm getting top ones next week. But I got 2 spacers on each side on the bottom and they are killing me! Ibuprofen isn't even working D; One of the spacers made my gums bleed.. I HATE SPACERS.

[gymnasticluver13]

wow. im getting braces 2morrow and got spacers on wed. they didnt hurt at all!

[breebriddd122]

At my orthodontist they dont use this method and more. They use a more better method

[BraceFaceLOvee]

I just got my spacers yesterday ! And I couldnt chew NOTHING! I was mad,,and they hurt !

[sabhacker101]

spacers dont hurt at all i have them in and i can berly feel them

[iluvubabe123]

im getting braces tomorrow i have had my spacers for almost a week.. they dont hurt me at all. they are just annoying it feels like food is stuck between my teeth and i cant do anything about it.

[rspkk0]

It hurts so bad. I want to punch a small baby in the face.

[lmaominh]

My teeth are crowded in the back and I just got Spacers this morning and now they are aching so bad that when we went to a restaurant, I didn't order!!!! Then next week I get an expander:/ and then braces.

[sexyinnc]

I got my braces put on 2 days ago and honestly im miserable. They are tight and making cuts in my mouth. I prefer the spacers over these any day and I couldnt even eat with them things in.
